Here, we demonstrate a complete clinical response achieved in a patient with HER2+ metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to a coordinated barrage of anti-HER2, personalized vaccine and checkpoint inhibition immunotherapy, radiation, and chemotherapy. Comprehensive organoid profiling with drug sensitivity screening and drug testing suggested a vulnerability to anti-HER2 directed therapy, facilitating personalized treatment selection for our patient, which contributed to her clinical benefit. Immune response monitoring following personalized vaccine, radiation and checkpoint inhibition showed a sustained increase in neoantigen specific T cell response.
